Autism is generally accepted that it is caused by abnormalities in the brain structure or function. In many families, there appears to be a pattern of autism or related disabilities supporting the theory that autism has a genetic basis. Some of the characteristics of an autistic child are, does not babble or coo by 12 months, does not gesture or say a single word much less can speak two word phrases by 12-24 months of age as the child grows he or she may have difficulties communicating or relating to events or people around them, they often play with toys and objects in unusual ways and have difficulty adjusting to changes to their lives such as familiar surroundings or in their daily routine. These characteristics are evident by the age of three.

Radio is autistic. Radio isolates himself from other people, he is riding down a stretch of highway with not a care in the world, autistic children do not realize the danger life can bring, for instance when the officer who was not aware of who Radio was, his first thought was that Radio had stolen the gifts that he was delivering to his friends and neighbors for Christmas, Radio just thought he was giving back to his friends however the officer thought he was committing a crime.

Autistic children do not have the capability of physical emotion, they have a hard time connecting with other humans when it comes to hugging, or being touched in a comforting way, when Radios mom passed away you could see that when Coach approached him to comfort him he was receptive to his embrace and wanted to be comforted.

Radio had an obsession with radios, it was soothing and comforting to him, it appeared to be his “calming tool” autistic children play with objects in odd ways, they relate to either an object or a sound to comfort them when their world becomes upset or threatened.

...best friends every Sunday with other friends. Until things got blurred again and so are the other days. Days of fighting followed, with just simple nonsense reasons. The old sweet days are turning to be a bit sour like a food about to expire. Complicated! That’s how thing went. We were already in a point where we are aloof to each other and I do not know what to do in order to save the friendship we have. He went away, I stopped communicating with him having the thought that things might turn out right as time goes by until he will come back. Will I ever see and talk to him again knowing that he will be going to a college far from where I am? How I wish I could turn back the days whenever I remember the past. I will surely bring with me a movie maker to cut those bad parts and repeat those good memories so I can be with him the whole time, happy and in love. But who I am to do that? I am just a best friend! Indeed, a best friend who is afraid to commit myself to him, afraid to lose him which already happen. Maybe we were not meant for each other. If we were, then time will bring us back together. If not, God’s definitely writing our own love story with the person who is meant and only right for us.
It’s been a year and I hope he’s doing great and won’t think about the things that have hurt the both of us. I think he’s on a vacation here and I hope when we see each other again, it would be good. I love him but I have to detach myself. Sorry if I am afraid...

Movieanalysis of The Beautiful Mind
Overview
The film “A BEAUTIFUL MIND” characterizes the story of the brilliant mathematician John Forbes Nash who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. This film was directed by Ron Howard and it’s based on the true life story of a genius mathematician Nash which is portrayed by the actor Russell Crowe. At the beginning of the movie Nash starts his career at Princeton University as a mathematics graduate student where he was well known for his intelligence. Nash is an arrogant, awkward socially-inept mathematics student, who spent most of his time making effort to discover a revolutionary equation in mathematics. At half way through the film, we discover that half of the places and situations that occur in the film are only illusions within Nash’s “beautiful” mind. This is when it was discovered that Nash is suffering from a severe illness which is schizophrenia. One of the first imaginary characters that Nash develops in his mind is his roommate Charles Herman, (Paul Bettany) a student of English Literature.
Schizophrenia has been defined as a split mind. It refers not to a multiple personality split but rather to a split from reality that shows itself in disorganized thinking, disturbed perceptions, and inappropriate emotions and actions. Nash experienced severe delusions and hallucinations which were then diagnosed as symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia are when being...

These needs are inclusion or becoming involved with others, affection or holding fond or tender feelings toward another person, and control or the ability to influence others our environment and ourselves. These needs can be fulfilled through a complementary or symmetrical relationship. A complementary relationship is one in which each person supplies something the other lacks, and a symmetrical relationship is one in which the participants mirror each other or are highly similar.
